How to manage the difference between facilitating and teaching

• Group focus vs. individual focus
• Process ownership vs. content ownership
• Guiding vs. directing
• Discovery vs. understanding
• Invisibility/transparence vs. centered focus
• Understanding systems vs. understanding adult learning
• Help the group/team achieving or changing or … their goal vs. the teacher owns the goal
• Group dynamics focus vs. individual behavior focus

* might have been facilitating vs. teaching vs. training vs. consulting but we defined facilitating and teaching to be the most important and suitable topic of the session

• When you don’t make your current role clear
• Asking leading questions instead of exploratory questions
• If the facilitator go for her own goal instead of the group goal
• Trying to do too much at once (facilitating and teaching)
